I spent part of my childhood in a place where the infrastructure was collapsing and there was no funding to correct it, and all of the tap water tasted like rotten egg and had rusty metal flakes in it. Brita filters and water flavouring were a necessity. Although there was a playground that was a ground pump, and I used to drink straight out of that. Probably explains a lot these days.

Len posted:*gasp* Sometimes people want a flavored water?! Why I never! Sorry, "flavor" (as you put it) is not necessary to support life functions. You should only ever drink plain water because that's all your body needs.

Can you live on your own semen and piss indefinitely. If you do, is that a 'life hack'?

Don't like buying flavoured water? Just buy squash and add it to your tap water at home!

Lifehack: Stop drinking water and become a living Buddha. Eat only salt, nuts, pine bark, and urushi tea. Be revered forever. Attain eternal life and transcend this mortal existence. Also make sure you wear sunglasses when you do it because you will be cool forever if you do.

bringmyfishback posted:We're not so Mio-fattened that we can't extrapolate from context. Are you sure? I imagined someone blending a gourd into their drink until I read axolotl farmer's post. Then, I remembered the angry guy asking for "a gin and orange, a lemon squash, and a scotch and water" in episode one of the greatest television comedy of all time. Then, I realized we need this kind of squash in the United States. Then, I remembered we have Mio. Now, I have a headache.

Watching a vendor's presentation for document retention for work, and the guy's opening about lifehacks contained this gem- if your daughter wants help making a ponytail, put a rubber band on the end of a vacuum hose, turn it on and point it at the back of her head, then slide the rubber band off the nozzle  He did at least say "if your daughter isn't scared the vacuum cleaner"

We used to have liquid sweet drink mix in the US, but I think it never caught on because Kool-Aid and Flavor-Aid and other powdered sweet drink mixes were more convenient.

Those things get stuck in your hair and hurt like gently caress when you try to pull them out. Just thinking about it is making me cringe.

A complicated and terrible solution to a problem no one has. Seriously, how challenged is this guy that he struggles to form a ponytail on his daughter's head? Here are some "fun" hair hacks.

Either way I turned off the presentation as soon as he said that, we probably weren't going to work with these guys anyway and that seals it for me

Karma Monkey posted:Jesus wept. (Well, at least he's using a hairband there and not a rubber band.) I suspect this is a guy thing. Someone who has never dealt with long hair attempts to put a ponytail in his daughter's hair for the first time, yanks a strand wrong and elicits that piercing little girl scream. Once his ears stop bleeding he invents this hack. It is complicated, time consuming, kind of unsanitary, and does a poor job, but it is painless.
